It’s a new year, and now is a great time to reflect on the accomplishments made during the previous year. For the U.S. Government Bookstore, this means highlighting our best-selling Federal publications chosen by our customers over the past year. We will highlight some of our customers’ favorite government publications in this blog for the next several months.
March’s best-seller feature keeps in the Civics and Citizenship topic. To become a naturalized U.S. citizen, you must pass the naturalization test. Preparing For The Naturalization Test: A Pocket Study Guide from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) provides the civics test questions, answers, and reading and writing vocabulary to help you study.
The definition of “best-selling” can vary but generally refers to publications with exceptionally high sales figures. Here are a few notable topics that cover some of our most popular publications that deeply resonate with readers, securing their place as best-sellers.
- Civics and Citizenship: Preparing to become a United States citizen and learning about the American system of government is extremely popular with our customers each year.
- NASA Publications: From stunning space exploration imagery to scientific reports and educational materials, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) publications capture the public’s imagination and inform them about the universe and our place in it.
- Tax Guides: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) publishes annual tax guides covering individual and business income taxes. While primarily instructional, these guides are in high demand during tax season, making them consistent best-sellers.
January and February’s best-seller features, Learn About the United States: Quick Civics Lessons, helps immigrants study for the civics and English portions of the naturalization test. There are 100 civics history and government questions on the test. For example, “What is the supreme law of the land in America?” This question and others are part of the updated civics flash cards for the U.S. Naturalization test. It can also be used in a classroom setting or as a fun family game civics refresher to check how much you know about the nation in which you live, the freedoms you enjoy, and the responsibilities that come from citizenship.
